14range of the intended cut. Interruption of thecarriage or blade travel during the cutting operationmay result in kickback and serious personal injury.• While making a bevel cut keep hands out of thepath of the blade. The angle of the blade mayconfuse the operator as to the actual blade pathwhile cutting and contact with the blade will resultin serious personal injury.• The blade should not be raised until it has cometo a complete stop. During a bevel cut the piece cutoff may come to rest against the blade. If the bladeis raised while it is rotating the cut-off piece maybeejected by the blade causing the material to fragmentwhich may result in serious personal injury.NOTICE:• When pressing down the handle, apply pressure inparallel with the blade. If a force is appliedperpendicularly to the turn base or if the pressuredirection is changed during a cut, the precision ofthe cut will be impaired.5. Compound cuttingCompound cutting is the process in which a bevel angleis made at the same time in which a miter angle is beingcut on a workpiece. Compound cutting can beperformed at the angle shown in the table.Miter angleLeft and Right 45Right 50Right 55Right 57Bevel angleLeft 0 - 45Left 0 - 40Left 0 - 30Left 0 - 25006393When performing compound cutting, refer to"Press cutting", "Slide cutting", "Miter cutting" and"Bevel cut" explanations.6. Cutting crown and cove moldingsCrown and cove moldings can be cut on a compoundmiter saw with the moldings laid flat on the turn base.There are two common types of crown moldingsand one type of cove moldings; 52/38° wall anglecrown molding, 45° wall angle crown molding and45° wall angle cove molding. See illustrations.1 2 3001555There are crown and cove molding joints which aremade to fit "Inside" 90° corners ((1) and (2) in Fig.A) and "Outside" 90° corners ((3) and (4) in Fig. A).(1) (2) (3) (4)1 2Fig.A0015562(1)(2)(1)(2)(2)(1)(2)(1)(1)(2)(3)(4)1001557MeasuringMeasure the wall length and adjust workpiece ontable to cut wall contact edge to desired length.Always make sure that cut workpiece length at theback of the workpiece is the same as wall length.Adjust cut length for angle of cut. Always useseveral pieces for test cuts to check the sawangles.When cutting crown and cove moldings, set the bevelangle and miter angle as indicated in the table (A) andposition the moldings on the top surface of the sawbase as indicated in the table (B).In the case of left bevel cutMoldingposition inFig. ABevel angle Miter angleFor outsidecornerFor insidecorner52/38° type 45° typeRight 31.6°45° typeLeft 33.9° Left 30°52/38° typeLeft 31.6° Left 35.3°Right 35.3°Right 35.3°Right 31.6°(1)(2)(3)(4)Table (A)006361Moldingposition inFig. AMolding edge againstguide fence(1) Ceiling contact edge shouldbe against guide fence.Ceiling contact edge shouldbe against guide fence.ForoutsidecornerFinished piecewill be on theLeft side ofblade.Finished piecewill be on theRight side ofblade.For insidecornerWall contact edge should beagainst guide fence.Finished piece(2)(3)(4)Table (B)0063621.
